Networking and Remote Control
This section describes how to connect a PC to your 8685 remotely for downloading
software upgrades and for PC Remote Control.
The 8685 has a built-in Ethernet connector that can be used with 10 Mbps or 100
Mbps networks using the TCP/IP protocol. You can also connect a PC to the 8685
through the 8685’s RS-232 serial port, either by modem or directly through a null
modem cable.
1. Prepare the 8685 for a network connection.
[Skip this step if you will not be using an Ethernet connection.]
A) Set the IP address:
a) From the main menu, LOCATE to SYSTEM SETUP > NETWORK REMOTE >
NETWORK.
b) If you wish to change the IP Address, LOCATE to SET ADDRESS. Press the
ENTER button to access the SET IP ADDRESS screen.
192.168.254.254 is the 8685 default setting.
c) LOCATE to CLEAR, then press the ENTER button.
This will allow you to enter your IP address.

have selected all the numbers in the IP address assigned by your network
administrator. When the IP address entry is complete, LOCATE to SAVE and
press the ENTER button.

a) LOCATE to SET SUBNET.
Unless previously set away from the factory default, the Subnet Mask

c) LOCATE to the first number and press the ENTER button; repeat until you
have selected all the numbers in the Subnet Mask. When the Subnet Mask
entry is complete, toggle to SAVE and press the ENTER button.
